I don’t like the issue either and I’m not for Peter King milking it, but don’t you for one second try and tell me that those guys did that because ‘they wanted the overtime’.
I know some of those guys and I knew guys who died in the towers on 9/11. The rescue workers did what they did out of a sense of duty, not for overtime. People don’t volunteer to sift through human remains of people they likely knew and cared about just for a paycheck.
You don’t need to impugn the motives of good people to make a point against politicians milking an issue you disagree with.
Puhlease.....
56,000 First Responders who sifted through debris? You must be including all the Lawyers who jumped in with claims, too.....
They kicked out real quick any non union trades/workers.
Sounds a bit like pot calling kettle black, trying to claim to know everyone’s motives.
If I remember right, at the time there were some news reports about this “overtime” thing and the “Local” acting as usual. As far as these people not wearing filtration masks, having worked many OSHA and MSHA jobs, you refuse to wear dust mask your in trouble. Don’t think they absorbed the dust and pollutants through the skin, refusing common sense breathing protection is a whole lot like someone smoking Camels for years expecting us to pick up their med tab.
So the uproar when Rudy wanted to rotate them off the debris pile didn’t happen?
Good try. We were there!!!!
And one of the poster guys for more more more money who was simply directing traffic blocks away was really digging right at the sight?
Don’t bother to reply.
